"I heard about that. That was aggressive," Levine joked on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday. "It was really sweet and flattering. Beautiful life, you know, when a beautiful woman says nice things about you."

When host Ellen DeGenres, 54, offered to set them up, Levine laughed and said, "I'm cool." The musician, after all, is still recovering from his recent breakup with Sports Illustrated model AnneVyalitsyna.

While one source previously told Us Weekly that Levine was "blindsided" and "heartbroken" by his breakup with Vyalitsyna, another explained that he "wasn't ready" to marry her. Levine further explained his hesitancy to settle down in Paper's May issue.

"I want to study marriage. I want to learn about it I want to know it," he said. "I want to figure out whether or not I want to do it. I'm not just going to leap into it, because that's not good for anybody."
